This intriguing plan depicts 'Old Delhi', founded during the 17th Century by Shah Jahan as the new Mughal capital. Taken from a roughly westward-oriented perspective, the map showcases the city as it appeared not too long after the Siege of Delhi, a major event of the Uprising of 1857, although much of Delhi remained unchanged since Shah Jahan's reign. The Delhi region had been inhabited since the 2nd millennium B.C., and was home to permanent settlements since the 6th Century B.C. The Tomar Rajput Dynasty established Lol Kot in 736 AD, making the future site of Delhi a major political centre for the first time. The Chauhan kings of Ajmer conquered Lal Kot in 1180, and renamed it Qila Rai Pithora, thus founding the first of what are known as the "Seven Cities of Delhi". Over the following four and a half centuries, these successive imperial capitals, built within what is today the Greater Delhi region, would be destroyed and then rebuilt. Qila Rai Pithora fell to the Delhi Sult five dynasties, from 1206 to 1526, ruled almost all of Northern India (and, for a time, during the 14th Century, most of the Subcontinent). The successive capitals of the Delhi Sultanate were Mehrauli, Siri, Tughlakabad, and Firozabad. Following a brief period under Mughal rule, the short-lived Suri Empire (1540 to 1556) commenced Shergarh, which was intended to be their capital, but which was never finished. Following the Mughal restoration in 1556, Delhi lost its status as an imperial capital, a mantle taken up by Agra. However, Emperor Jahan (reigned 1628-58) decided to construct Shahjahanabad, from 1638 to 1649, which formally became the capital of the Mughal Empire in 1648. The Delhi that is depicted on the present map is largely true to the original form of Shajahanabad, save for some modifications and editions that were added in the succeeding two centuries. Shah Jahan's city had an area of just over 6 square kilometers, enclosed by great walls with fourteen gates. he city wadominated by the Red Fort, the colossal imperial palace constructed of red sandstone, completed in 1648, that straddled an offshoot channel of the 'Jumna' (Yamuna) River, depicted in the lower part of the map. From the Fort's Lahore Gate, a great thoroughfare led to the 'Chananee Choak' (Chandi Chowk, meaning 'Moonlight Square'), an enormous market place designed around 1650 by the emperor's daughter, Princess Jahanara. On the north side of the market area were several magnificent gardens, while at the end of the great thoroughfare stood the 'Musjid Futeporee' (Fatehpuri Mosque). Built in 1650, under the patronage of one of Shah Jahan's wives, Fatehpuri Begum, the mosque was named in honour of her native city, Fatehpur Sikri, which served as the Mughal capital from 1571 to 1585. Further south, amidst the dense warren of streets that comprised most of the city, is the 'Jama Musjid' (Jama Masjid), properly the Masjid-i-Jahan-Numa ('World-reflecting Mosqd 1656, it bs. A more recent construction appears within an enclave off of the southwestern portion of the city's walls. 'Oriental College', originally founded as a madrasa in 1692 by Emperor Aurangzeb, closed in 1790-1. It reopened in 1792 as a college dedicated to the arts, literature and sciences. The institution survives to this day as Zakir Husein Delhi College, named after the third President of India. Numerous details are provided of sites outside of Delhi's walls. 'The Cantonment', located the north of the city refers to the massive British army that guarded the city. Just to the south of Delhi is labeled the 'Kotila of Feeroz Shah', referring to the Feroz Shah Kotla,? a fortress built in 1354-6 by Sultan Feroz Shah Tughlaq to anchor his planned capital of Ferozabad. Interestingly, ?the Kotla included one of the many surviving Pillars of Ashoka, monuments bearing inscriptions that were made on the orders of King Ashoka of the Mauryan Em 3rd Century BC. During his reign, thesestributed throughout Ashoka's empire, which included most of India. Feroz Shah moved this column to Ferozabad to serve as piece of iconography legitimizing his rule. The ancient inscriptions on the Ferozabad Ashoka Pillar were deciphered by the English antiquary James Prinsep in 1837. The pillar still stands at the Feroz Shah Kotla to this day. Other curious locations outside of Delhi include the 'Lunatic Asylum', and a number of old Mughal monuments. The Historical Context leading up to the Siege of Delhi (1857) The era following the death of Shah Jahan's son, Aurangzeb (reigned 1658 1707), saw the decline of the Mughal Empire and, with it, the fortunes of Delhi. The city was conquered several times during the 18th Century. It was sacked by the Persian ruler Nadir Shah in 1739; it was placed under Maratha suzerainty in 1752; it was raided by the Afghan king Ahmed Shah Durrani in 1761; and, it was captured by Sikh forces During the Second Anglo-Maratha War (1803-5), the the British East India Company (EIC) defeated the Marathas at the Battle of Delhi (1803). The city and the surrounding region came under the administration of the local EIC Resident, while it remained nominally under the rule of the Mughal Emperor. As shown on the map, the British set up a compound just outside of the Red Fort, along the offshoot of the Yamuna. It included a 'Residency', a 'Custom House', and a 'Church', amongst other structures. Delhi remained an important regional commercial and cultural centre, although its role in India's affairs was one of faded grandeur. Delhi came back into prominence as the scene of one of the great events of the Uprising of 1857. On May 11, 1857, forces nominally under the authority of the aging Mughal Emperor Bahadur Shah II, expelled the British from Delhi. However, in what became known as the Siege of Delhi, a large British force besieged the city from June 8 to Septembed only managed to regain control of the city with great difficultyowing the rebellion, the Mughal Empire was dissolved and Delhi wa.

This important landmark of the coastal surveying of Australia depicts the first advanced scientific survey of the estuary of the Brisbane River, featuring the capital of Queensland and its route of access to Moreton Bay. It is based on surveys conducted in 1873 by Commander Edward Parker Bedwell and Lieutenant Edward Connor, as part of an extraordinary effort jointly sponsored by the British Admiralty and the Queensland government. The chart was first issued in 1875, with the present example being of the third edition, printed in 1899, featuring new information gained over the preceding generation, as the chart is labeled in the lower margin "Large Corrections" up to "Sep. 1899". The chart is today very rare, the present example is the only one we have been able to locate as having appeared on the market in the last 25 years. The sea chart is divided into two sections, the upper, larger section features the mouth of the Brisbane River and the adjacent waters of Moreton Bay. The town o in the lower part of the section, and the waters feature copious hydrographic information, including bathymetric soundings, compass variations, navigational sightlines, remarks on hazards, with lighthouses and buoys heightened by red and yellow accents. The lower third of the sheet features the river from Gibson Island over to include downtown Brisbane as far west as Albert Park. Significantly, the map includes a fairly detailed early street plan of the city with all major buildings outlined and labeled, such as: 'House of Parliament', 'Government House', 'Public Offices', 'Town Hall', 'Theatre Royal', 'Opera House', 'St. Patrick's Roman Catholic Church', 'Synagogue', 'Masonic Hall', the 'Observatory', various banks, and many other curious sites. Queensland, with much of its coastline guarded by the Great Barrier Reef, and many of its best areas for settlement, such as Brisbane, located deep along inshore waters, was always considered to begerous r All of the great early surveyors, James Cook, Matthew Flinders, and Phillip Parker King had either sailed by or into Moreton Bay, but none had surveyed the estuary of the Brisbane River. The first survey of the river was carried out by Lieutenant John Oxley in 1823-4, aboard the HM Cutter Mermaid. This was done in preparation for the foundation of a penal colony in 1825, at North Quay, in what is now the city of Brisbane. This was followed, in 1839, by a survey of Moreton Bay and the approaches to the Brisbane River conducted by Commander John Clements Wickham, aboard the HMS Beagle, famously the ship that previously carried Charles Darwin on his legendary voyages of natural discovery. Wickham's survey resulted in the publication of the Plan of the North Entrance into Moreton Bay (1846), which featured the Brisbane River Estuary. Brisbane attained a high level of importance in 1859, when it was selected to become the capital of the newlestablished state of Queensland. However,he state's leaders had a major challenge on their hands, as Queensland's immense, intricate and unusually dangerous coastlines were not particularly well charted, compared to most other regions of the Australian littoral. As the road system was embryonic, and would remain so for quite some time, by far the most important means of transport was by water. The lack of accurate charts threatened to hinder Queensland's development, unless concerted action was taken. By 1860, even the maritime approaches to the state capital were not adequately mapped. Oxley's survey of the Brisbane River was not done to sufficiently high scientific standards, and the Wickham survey's coverage of the Brisbane River was of comparatively small scale and lacked critical detail. Moreover, the changing positions of the shoals in the Brisbane River and the adjacent parts of Moreton Bay also rendered Wickham and Oxley's charts somewhat outdated. Normallyibility for surveying Australia's coastlinusively on the British Admiralty. The problem, in this case, was that properly and thoroughly charting Queensland's coasts promised to be a remarkably expensive and time consuming process, an endeavor that was not sufficiently high on the Admiralty's list of priorities. In 1860, the state government proposed a progressive solution to the problem. It was estimated that supporting a proper hydrographic program for Queensland would cost £3,000 per annum. If the Admiralty would supply staff, instruments and provide for the publication of charts to the amount of £1,500 per annum, then the Queensland authorities agreed provide the surveyors with the use of vessels and lodging to a matching amount. In 1861, the Admiralty agreed to Queensland's proposal and Master James Jeffery was appointed as Queensland's first Admiralty Surveyor. Provisionally, a local vessel was hired to chart various points on the coast, such as the y Strait, Hervey Bay, and the mouth of the Mary River. Inhe Queensland government had a dedicated surveying vessel, the HMS Pearl, specially constructed. From 1864 to 1866, Jeffery surveyed parts of Moreton Bay and Keppel Bay. In 1866, Jeffery was replaced as Queensland's Admiralty Surveyor by Master (Staff-Commander from 1870) Edward Parker Bedwell (1834-1919). Bedwell joined the Royal Navy in 1848 and served under in the Crimean War. In 1854, he had the privilege of personally delivered the news of the key British victory at the Battle of Alma to the Royal Navy's Mediterranean Command in Malta. In 1857, he became a navy surveyor and was sent to chart parts of the rugged coastlines of British Columbia, where he learned skills that would prove invaluable in Australia. Bedwell continued Jeffery's survey of Moreton Bay, from 1866 to 1868, before moving on to chart other areas of Queensland's coasts, such as the Great Barrier Reef. In 1873, he was joined by Lieutenanrd Connor (1846-1903), who had previously worked on surveys in theerranean, the English Channel, and most notably in the Straits of Magellan. In 1873, Bedwell an.
